How to Use Weightlifting Straps
1. Slide hand inside the strap so the the eyelet is positioned at in the centre of the base of your wrist.
2. Start wrapping from the outside of the bar and work your way toward the middle
3. The strap is wrapped clockwise around the bar.
Knowing how to use weightlifting straps is as important as knowing when to use them.
Weightlifting straps will not do all the work for you.
You still need provide maximal support for the whatever is in your hands
(barbell, dumbbell). The weightlifting strap is wrapped clockwise around the bar because it is the opposite direction of how the bar will roll out of your hands if you are using both hands in a pronated grip.
You will still need use 100% of your grip strength to secure the bar - anything less will result into loss of grip and potential injury. Lifting straps are used when the weight load exceeds your ability to secure the load with your grip alone.
Thank you for watching!

I appreciate the video. I just received my first set of lifting straps.
Thanks for posting, very well explained!
thank you. I just bought some and I would've definitely used it wrong if I had just gone to the gym. Leaving my house in 20 mins and I'm confident in how to use it now!

Thank you for this video. It's been awhile since I used straps and loved the great detail you gave. 🇨🇦 happy lifting 💪 Here is a quote I wrote awhile ago No one ever achieved greatness overnight or in a week. It takes time, patience, and perseverance. To endure pain and sacrifices in what you truly set yourself out to do. Stay hungry my friends, NEVER GIVE UP and keep moving forward!!

Thank you for the video, informative and to the point
They are still on backwards. The strap should go the same direction of the thumb
Nice video coach!

+Jose A. Justiniano thank you for checking out our latest video! Lifting straps are most often used during deadlifts,chin-ups and Pull-Ups as well as barbell or dumbbell shrugs. Sometimes people decide to use them during their later sets when their grip is already fatigued whike their bigger muscle groups are not. Please let me know if this answers your question! Have a great evening!

Thanks for the video. However, the bar still slides from my left grip, and I don’t think the straps are helping with more than two extra reps. Any tips for me??!

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. A couple of things could be happening and the first one is that the strap on your left hand is not as tight as the one on the right period sometimes it happens that we can get one strap tighter than the other so if this is the case be sure that both straps are equally tight on the bar. The other issue might be your grip on your left side is not as strong on your right side. You would likely realize this while doing other lifts.So if this is the case some dedicated training for the grip strength and endurance on your left side would be appropriate to balance out the performance between your hands when lifting.
Where should the straps be placed on your wrist? I had some wrist pain after using the straps and read that the straps should be placed slightly above the wrist to avoid tearing and degenerative damage of the wrist
I thought you arer never suppose to double overlap?
Does using straps help with calluses? It’s getting hurt badly that it heals slower than my actual deadlift muscles

You should be proud of your calluses!
Pretty sure those are on the wrong hands. You want them coming through between finger and thumb but should cross the the palm. Just ask 3x world strongest man. He says a lot of people do what’s shown in video, and it’s not correct.

yeah strap should go towards thumb
Dude at 0:35 when you are showing how to put it on you drop your hand out of the video and then fliping your hand back and forth I can't tell how you got the strap orientated
Those straps do nothing for me. When my hand opens, the straps unfold and the bar falls on the floor (of course i stop the set before) but yeah...gonna return them and buy other types of grips.
i cant like its 420
This is the worst way to use straps for weightlifting purposes powerlifting only
Thank you
